Elsoft 出2014年报咯，去年Elsoft的表现真的是亮眼，几乎是Exponential的爆发。
那么2015年是否会维持成长呢？通过年报看未来展望，公司已经做好准备迎接充满挑战的2015年。
Elsoft在2014年从ACE版成功转去主板，加上派息政策不少于净收入的40%，希望借此吸引更多基金投资，股价也从2014年RM0.75+攀升至目前的RM1.7+，番了1.25倍，让股东也感到安慰了。可惜我是半途才杀入 :P
文中也解释了2014年收购蝴蝶公园，希望买入赚钱资产分散投资。。。可是科技与旅游业，怎样看都是不相干的行业嘛。。且看2015年Elsoft会如何交出满意的成绩单。

Prospects and Outlook

a further growth of 5.4% in year 2015 from the global revenue achieved in year 2014. Computing applications will continue to be the largest market for semiconductors, followed by wireless and consumer applications. However, the industrial electronics segment is expected to outperform overall semiconductor market growth driven by mainly LED lighting applications. In addition, the Internet of Things (“IoT”) will continue to drive very strong unit growth in 2015 and beyond.
The Company applied for a transfer from the ACE Market to the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and had successfully transferred its entire issued and paid-up share capital from the ACE Market to the Main Market on 22 January 2015. The Board is optimistic that the successful transfer to the Main Board will augur well for the Company and would enhance the shareholders’ value in the long term. The Company had invested in a new associated company, Butterfly House (PG) Sdn Bhd on 15 December 2014. The Board is of the view that it is timely to diversify the business into other profitable investments which will translate into better returns for the shareholders in the long term.
Premised on the measures adopted by the Group to increase the long term shareholders’ values as disclosed in last year’s Chairman Statement and the new developments in year 2014 as reported, the Board is optimistic that the Group will continue to progress and further strengthen its financial position. The Group is also well positioned and ready to meet challenges in the year 2015.
